<TITLE>10. Par 83-91</TITLE>L-83   He is still God, just as much God as He ever was. But how can a man say those things unless God tells him first to say it? See, not under impression; but you know what you're saying, then do it. But wait, don't try to say, "Oh, that's the way!" Many people, I think, and--and gifts of God... Wait to know it is, you know it's God. See, wait till the Voice comes, and you hear It, and know It, see It, then you can say, "It's THUS SAITH THE LORD." If it isn't THUS SAITH THE LORD, then it's your impression, it's what somebody else thinks. People requests people, "Say this for me. Do this for me." How can you do it, if you're honest with God, until God first tells you? How can I tell you, "Thus saith Jack Moore," and Jack Moore hasn't said nothing to me? See? It's got to come first from God, not impressed. It's got to be God, and then it will happen, for it is then THUS SAITH THE LORD.

L-84   Now, everybody won't have that. No, sir. It won't be that way. It never was that way. It never will be that way. God deals with an individual. He did in the days of Noah. He did in the days of--of Joshua. He did in the days of Moses. He has always. He has never made a system. It's been an individual, 'cause two men ain't alike, no time. See, He never did do no more. But everybody didn't have to be Moses. They didn't understand it; they just followed. And the Holy Spirit, if a man is anointed of God, will direct you to follow the Holy Spirit and the Bible, for He is the One Who does these things, Jesus Christ in the form of the Holy Ghost working in the people.

L-85   Standing there, I started to walk back down. I stood there. I cried. I couldn't help it, to see what had happened right there in a moment.

L-86 And the brethren up there, now how many was, is there somebody here? I know Fred Sothmann and them is here, was up there; no, Fred was with me at the other place. Is there any here now that was up there? Is Brother Banks Wood and them in here yet? Is there anybody here besides Billy Paul that was up there? These boys had just left, yeah, and Brother Wood, and Brother Taylor, or, I forget the other brother's name, four or five of them were standing there. These brethren here, Brother Martin had just left, left the day before, on account of the storm coming. You all remember the storm, the broadcast, they said it was coming. [A brother says, "We met it."--Ed.] Now, what say? You met it. ["We met it."] You met it.

L-87   Then, and now notice. Standing there, I thought, "Well, I guess I'll go down the hill."

L-88 And I--I made a vow to God, a few years ago, going out with the Full Gospel Business Men, that, "I wouldn't shoot game for somebody else, unless it was an emergency." I just wouldn't do it.

L-89 And, yeah, it's Brother Jack Palmer, is he here? Brother Jack, he was from Georgia, he usually comes up here. He was standing there. And the night before, he said, "Brother Branham, get me a deer."

L-90   And, my, I just shook, because, I--I know I had vowed I wouldn't do that, four or five years ago, 'cause that year I killed nineteen head of elk, alone. Just for them businessmen who sit around and talk their business. I'd have to go out and kill their game. And that just didn't seem... like put me in a murder class, but I wouldn't do it. I'll take them to where it's at, but I won't shoot it. So I promised God I wouldn't do that.

L-91 So then I had got, left the place, going back, started back down the hill, and a Voice spoke to me, and said, "Why not walk with Me?"
